Perfect tuna rolls ups for Summer…
It was a hot day today, hope the temperature is not going to drop tomorrow. I don’t want the temperature to shoot up too much either, I prefer mildly hot weather. Does the weather is going to care about what I prefer? My garden is in almost full bloom now, eagerly waiting for a bunch of aster buds to bloom as well. Sharing the collage of the flowers and plants from my graden.
Tuna roll up or wraps is served in most of the events and conferences. Usually, tuna rolls up would be my pick instead of chicken or beef wraps as it’s light and healthy. The other day, I tried to recreate tuna rolls up in my kitchen. I wasn’t disappointed, these roll ups tasted delicious. The tuna stuffing can be made ahead of time and can be refrigerated. While serving, just heat up the stuffing in the microwave and wrap it in a tortilla or chapati or even bread. If you are going to a picnic or any outdoor get together, wrap the rolls up in an aluminum foil and take it with you. Enjoy the Sun, the warmth and this tuna roll ups.
